We'll talk about I'm Ryan McCaffrey Miranda Sanchez today and sitting and joining us very warm welcome to Chris charla thanks head of the ID at Xbox program and it is super great to have you back.

Yeah thanks is cool to be here. Yeah I think it might be a couple years since since we last had you. Yeah yeah it's been a while as we you were noting when you came in what we were in the old hole in the

room last. Oh yeah. Yeah now we're in the the fancy pan studio so it's great to have you here and a ton has changed about the ID at Xbox program in the sense of its output certainly yeah just a ton of memorable wonderful titles.

Cuphead just winning award after award I think they got to take some of those those profits and build an entire.

Yeah like a room yeah yeah I think but you know I guess where I want to start with you is is kind of I'm super curious about the nitty gritty of your job it always

fascinates me because I guess I I don't quite know how the day to day goes so I'm kind of curious like you know all these

cases we we've already had Celeste this year which IGN gave a 10 out of 10 to you know how often do you

personally get to take a look at builds of ID games can you do you have them can you get them whenever you want like yes we have them

sometimes and and you know I could get them I almost never play games before they come out like I used to so you should be a developer

and so obviously play tons of games before I came out and then when I first got to Xbox and I was working on like first party XBLA I was very

excited to like I'm gonna play this game early you know and if but like you know what you miss from that you get one

thing which is really cool which is so like I played like FES right before it came out and no one else playing FES I mean

people in the office were right but there was no one you could talk to no water cooler time when you knew when you

found it something like you really found it and you you felt like an explorer and there was no way to like there's

no sheets there's no help and I did the same thing with inside like so when I beat inside like I mean I you know

they're like you couldn't get help and I was also too embarrassed to call you know the you know the

you know that guy yeah I'm not gonna call him up and ask him what's up so you just had to be so that that
